Bob Obringer, AI product engineer, North Jersey. Resume. Applied AI / generative UI / agents, or serious Next.js — best is both. Floor $275k TC, target $300k+.

Hard: fully remote only. NYC/SF hybrid is a commute. Vercel parked until next week. Stripe 35-mile rule fails North Jersey. Staff / Principal / Lead — not research scientist.

Confirmed fully remote. $275k-plausible, with flags where cash or leveling still needs a first-call check. Linear: one application.

Why this one

Best fully-remote combo on the market this week: Staff-banded React/TypeScript product seat building agent-native Linear — Temporal agent workloads, third-party agents as teammates, natural-language workflows. Optional NYC coworking is not a commute; North Jersey is in-region. Apply to this Linear req, not the other two.

Do not hide these. Eve first — there is already a GitHub ticket. Then AI SDK, Agent, Internal Agent, MTS Next.js, Dashboard, Site Engineer. Every “US remote” Vercel seat still has the commute-radius clause. North Jersey is inside NYC commute. Treat each card’s honest line as binding.

NYC / SF hybrid or onsite

    SF / NYC / Seattle hybrid ~25%. Claude Agent SDK overlap — killed by office clause.

    SF or NYC hybrid, 3 days in office. Performance-platform seat, custom React not App Router.

  14. $213k–$320k base

  34. $185k–$485k base + profit-sharing

    San Francisco Bay Area (or relocate). SF required.

Unverified

Looked remote, is not

Index pages say Remote. The JD does not. North Jersey / NYC metro cannot treat these as fully remote.

  1. Unlisted; Cursor SWE TC typically well above $275k

    Careers index: “San Francisco; New York; Remote.” JD body has zero location/work-mode text. Cannot confirm remote if you live in North Jersey / NYC metro.

  2. Unlisted

    Index: “San Francisco; New York; Remote.” Same remote-or-NYC pattern. FDE also implies customer-site embedding.

  3. Unlisted

    Index: “San Francisco; Remote.” Still SF-or-remote, no JD quote. IAM/RBAC/SCIM — not AI product or Next.js.

  4. Staff band $177k–$278k base + equity

    Engineering is “remote-first, unless otherwise agreed” but hub-city staff work in-person Tuesday to Thursday. NYC is a hub. North Jersey = commute.

  5. $180k–$245k cash

    Posted on We Work Remotely, but JD says Denver / SF / NYC employees work from the office ~2–3 days/week. North Jersey = NYC. Cash also $180k–$200k remote / $220k–$245k SF-NYC-Seattle — under floor.

Comp

Remote that fails the floor

Location is clean. Cash is not. $275k TC floor stands.

  1. $130k–$230k cash

    Truly remote — “United States (remote)” and globally distributed. Killed only by cash: US $130k–$208k; premium markets (NYC metro included) $141k–$230k. Below floor even with equity. Highest-skill truly-remote miss.

  2. IC4 from $88k–$176k starting

    All-remote, EST overlap, North America preferred. IC4 starting Zone 2 $176k / Zone 3 $132k / Zone 4 $88k (Zone 1 not listed). Below floor. More model/eval/retrieval than generative UI.

  3. $139k–$218k base

    Truly all-remote US, but internal AI for Sales/Marketing/Support — not a product IC seat — and base is $139,200–$218,400. Duo Chat Staff Fullstack (greenhouse 8202813002) now 404s.

  4. $165k–$190k base

    True applied-AI title and SF/NYC, but listed base $165k–$190k is below the floor, and the role is 5 days/week in office. Double kill: cash + onsite.

Hard skip

Stripe 35-mile rule

“Remote if 35+ miles from an office” fails for North Jersey / NYC metro.

  1. $271,200–$406,800 US base + equity/bonus

    US remote (35+ miles from a Stripe office) or hybrid office. North Jersey is inside 35 miles of NYC. Also Senior Staff overseeing 4–6 teams — more org-lead than hands-on AI product IC. Any Stripe eng role fails the same radius rule.

Shape

Wrong city, or wrong seat

Stack may be right. The req is not.

  1. Bangalore

    Perfect Workers / Durable Objects / KV / R2 / MCP / Agent SDK overlap with Snap Builder — live Greenhouse posting is Bangalore, India. No US remote on that req. Company is hybrid.

  2. Framer Tech Lead combo medium

    Unlisted

    Same remote-first wording as Senior Product Engineer (which is in Apply this week), but the JD requires 3+ years managing teams of 5+ — people-lead, not Staff IC. Comp/US-hire still unposted.
